About HCM Music Academy
-
If you’re aged 16 and over and love music so much that you’d like to make a career out of it, why not consider studying a full-time Music Performance or Music Production Diploma at HCM Music Academy.
Awarded by RSL and delivered at our college site in Ware our Level 2 and Level 3 music diploma courses for aspiring guitarists, bassists, drummers, singers, keyboard players, songwriters and music producers give you access to everything you need to nurture your future music career. HCM Music College has over 25 years’ experience in music, and their highly skilled teachers will take your love of music, identify your unique musical talents, train you in technique, theory and performance, and introduce you to the music industry.
And the best bit? Our music diploma courses are free for UK and EU students aged 18 or under*, and there are funding options available for students aged 19+ too.
What will I do?
On our music courses, you’ll learn real music industry skills taught by talented and inspirational teachers who all play an active role as music professionals in today’s music business.
On top of developing impressive performance and technical skills relevant to your music course, you’ll participate in real-world music industry experiences, such as masterclasses, Q&A sessions with industry guests, studio tours, West End show attendance and regular live gigs throughout the year, as you learn first-hand the ins and outs of the music business.
Is it for me?
If you’re a 16-19 year old and you didn’t perform quite as well in your GCSEs as you’d hoped, you can retake them while you study music with us. Whether it’s English and/or maths GCSEs or Functional Skills that you need to resit, with a Level 2 Music Performance or Music Production Diploma you can work towards improving your results while also progressing a career in music.
If you’re looking to do your A-levels and know you want to make music full time, HCM Music College offer an innovative alternative to the traditional sixth form route. Our Level 3 diplomas are the equivalent of three A-levels and a suitable path to future university music degree study and a music business career.
To join us, you don’t need to be currently studying GCSE or A-level music or be a formally trained musician – you just need to play your instrument to a reasonable standard, or have a passion for music technology and making electronic music.
Our music diplomas are a great gateway to taking your first steps in a music industry career or into further education with our partners ICMP London. Not only are they a chance to do something you love every day, but they’ll put you on a successful course to a professional and sustainable portfolio career in music and the creative arts.
